Well, Let the fraction's denominator be x
and numerator be y

We get Fraction=
 \frac{x}{y}

According to question

Equation 1:
x + y = 20

and

 \frac{x - 5}{y - 5} = \frac{1}{4}

Therefore
4x - 20 \: = y - 5
4x - 15 = y

Putting value of y in equation 1

x + 4x - 15 = 20
5x = 35
x = 7

and
y = 4 \times 7 - 15
y = 13
Ans.
 \frac{7}{13}

Hope it helps
